Why verbal security questions are obsolete

For decades, consumers have grown accustomed to answering security questions like »Please confirm your CPR number and address«. Following Denmark's 8.8 million record leak, these details can no longer be treated as secret passwords.

Reciting your personal ID over phone calls exposes your data to eavesdroppers and confirms private information to potential fraudsters.

The danger of SMS links in fraud

Scammers frequently send text messages containing fake login links. A genuine security system should never train consumers to click on arbitrary links sent via SMS.

With KvikID, the enterprise enters your CPR number into the platform. You receive an official push notification directly inside your authentic MitID app on your phone. You simply open MitID and swipe to approve. No links, no oral recitation, and complete cryptographic assurance.
